AHDIAS 143: What’s The Best Girl Scouts Cookie?

hi you guys want some cookies what it’s a classic Chris Kattan bit oh I liked mango more this is a hot dog as a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich Welcome to our podcast the hot dog is a sandwich I’m your host Josh sharer and I’m your host Nicola 90. we are internet chefs over a good mythical morning and mythical kitchen when we’re not making Takis grilled cheeses you can find us here breaking down the biggest food debates and talking about our favorite Chris Kattan feature films Nicole we’re not talking just bits from SNL Chris Katan features today night of the Roxbury of course that’s like the classic one Porky Romano I never saw that it was just fine that’s where the opener bit that nobody is gonna understand has come from today you guys want some cookies come on it’s a classic Josh I have to ask you a quick question yeah have you ever seen a quaint little film called Troop Beverly Hills yes I have seen true it was that Goldie huh no it wasn’t it was another actress that is very similar to Goldie who is in Troop Beverly Hills and um you know I I grew up in Beverly Hills as you know and I saw that movie and I wanted to be a girl scout so bad or whatever their equivalent of a Girl Scout was in that movie and I was so passionate about it I asked my mom I said Shelley Shelly Long when she asked my mom I said Mom can I please be a girl let me be a brownie let me be a part of it please and she said no why not I don’t know but we’re here today ranking Girl Scout cookies and I think that’s the best revenge what do you mean revenge on the Girl Scouts are you gonna roast all there I wanted to be them but I couldn’t but now I’m so excited to try all of their beautiful cookies because I really like their message you know the Girl Scout Mission which is on the back of the box Girl Scout builds girls of Courage confidence and character who make the world a better place and I can get behind that yeah girl scouts making girls better or something um I Was A Boy Scout did you notice I was a Cub Scout in fact how many years were you doing this less than a year and what happened is I don’t think I got kicked out I was like eight or nine okay I was a Bear Scout was your brother also in it yeah for the same amount of time but you know unstable child we would just like lose all of our stuff and like we couldn’t afford to pay the difference so we’d show up to the meetings I didn’t have the little stupid little Ascot on and it was just uncomfortable and so we left um but I agree with their message which is of teaching boys how to tie knots and we all need the tie knots and no I don’t know if their messages also I think uh Boy Scouts are like a really problematic organization Girl Scout seem better I mean you know yeah like they harbored some bad people in there I mean I’m sure like uh it gives kids structure and like like how to sell things which is good in the future yeah sales associate so Girl Scout cookies are we’re ranking them today is what we’re doing um but these are like a product that everybody knows and loves the the Boy Scouts they sell popcorn orders nobody knows about that though nobody knows about that you would have to go door to door and you’re like hey do you want popcorn that might show up to your door in three months if I like remember to turn this [ __ ] in and they’re like okay okay um yeah but Girl Scout cookies uh we know them we love them yeah ice cream flavors made from Girl Scout cookies people making Girl Scout cookie cakes all that stuff today Nicole we have the tough job of ranking all of them and pitting all of world girl scoutery against each other if we get this right I’m so hyped you have no idea do you have any favorites off the bat like what do you what do you initially do them from the troops um I very rarely buy them but if I see like one like outside of Bristol Farms or like Ralph’s I’ll grab a box and bring them to the office and have everyone share I think there are there are three ways my granddaddy told me this or three ways I never met my grandfather so you should know this is alive three ways either of my grandfathers either did you know that no I did not they both died there’s three ways he can help your country one you sign up to serve two you donate blood I don’t do either of those so I buy Girl Scout cookies and that’s that’s how I get back you should donate blood why don’t you donate blood I don’t like register my car I I just I don’t go to the dentist I don’t do these things but nice thing to do if they were if the dentist was outside tabling of a grocery store and then okay quick cleaning I’d probably do it because I’ll do that I’ll hand over six bucks samoas have always been my number one but I’ve never tasted them side by side by side by side it’s true to see what they are I was always a tag along girl but I’ve I’ve older I’ve gotten I’ve more seeped Into Thin Mints you’ve seeped Into Thin Mint cultures you’ve gotten older dark chocolate does it for me do you freeze them you know some people say they say the exam I don’t freeze them hey look at the way they are okay do you think we should start with the Heavy Hitters or start with the underrated ones let’s start with the underrated one the most underrated of all trefoils what does it mean unclear iconic shortbread cookies inspired by the Girl Scout original recipe I’m excited oh three four okay the original recipe so the initial um Girl Scout cookie program was literally just you would bake sugar cookies for your like School bake sale that’s right and then that sort of Tumbleweed itself into being the national Girl Scout cookie program that rakes in 800 million dollars a year 100 of all proceeds go right back into the Girl Scouts um you could say it’s a big money-making operation but you know how I don’t you know how I know they don’t care about money that much because they banned Honey Boo Boo from selling them to our online followers and she was gonna give sorry this one grand standing on seven-year-old Honey Boo Boo is trying to sign boxes and sell them to her fans yeah but like but but I can’t do that it was all going to the Girl Scout Troop and she wasn’t even a Girl Scout so I guess it was kind of shady and weird girl scouts were just like yo we don’t we don’t really want you in here go that’s what I’m saying I don’t know if the Girl Scouts want that kind of heat you know Mama June out there because if you’ve got Honey Boo Boo you got Mama June that’s right you know I do love me I love TLC cameras following you are you like pumpkin I don’t I have no idea who these people are dude pumpkin’s my favorite who’s pumpkin there’s pumpkin a child you have a piece of lint on your shirt and I really want to get rid of it can I yeah like a chimpanzee yeah I had to do that okay tree foils okay I’m gonna eat it oh did you wanna there’s no Lorna Dune oh are those the ones the Scottish ones and I love those yeah it’s a little bit it’s not as dense as I want it to be it’s too light and Airy it’s not shortbreading like you want it no I want my shirt it’s crispy though it’s somewhere between a shortbread and a Nilla Wafer incredibly well salted very well salted I would dip this in tea well seasoned vanilla tea you don’t drink tea ever yeah almost never oh sometimes at night when I get a little cozy I’m watching a little movie now I have my rooibus tea that I brought back from South Africa and that is a caffeine free tea that I absolutely adore underrated roybus tea Josh did you know that uh Girl Scouts stand for the G stands for go-getter the eye stands for innovator the r stands for wrist sticker and the L stands for leader can I tell you what I hate acronyms let me sorry let me crap in the Girl Scouts here real quick I hate acronyms that start with the word they’re like this is Project Viper it stands for victorious it’s like no you just thought Viper sounded badass and now you’re retrofitting a meaning to the acronym I don’t like that can we talk about the founder of the Boy Scouts and how he committed war crimes the found Robert baden-powell is a war criminal who met with Hitler because they both quote shared a love for young boys experiencing the outdoors doesn’t sound that right to me Robert Baden pal speaking of the outdoors let’s try Adventure Falls I told Nicole that I was gonna bring that up and she goes I don’t think you have to we’re talking about Girl Scout cookies we go no Nicole when Robert Baden pal was in the Zulu Wars he executed he executed people extrajudicially that’s a war crime Adventure pools are indulgent brownie-like inspired cookies with caramel flavored crap not even talk about his exploits in Rhodesia we had a hint of sea salt beautiful I’ve never you’re a monster oh Robert Baden Powell’s a monster okay um these look lovely I’ve never had these before are these new um I think they’re new they’re on the newer side I don’t think they have the same like esteem as the other cookies yeah try the adventure Falls okay let’s go for it okay it’s mid what it’s mid it’s mid no no this is a great trial right they swung they took a swing with the adventures like maybe something new but they kind of what they did is they sort of like restructured the Tagalongs which are already a Great Cookie Great Cookie and then just made it like a little bit worse with the structure but I see where they were going with this and it’s a hell of an attempt yeah they just didn’t quite hit the mark That’s it Girl Scouts you’re going I do like the way it looks I do like the the dark chocolate cookie with the beautiful little thumbprint of the caramel the little swivel of the lighter chocolate I think it’s a beautiful cookie I think the flavor just misses the smart a little bit I wish I had more salt more salt would be much much nicer I think peanut butter and desserts need salt because like peanut butter should be that salty component that should be the Savory yeah right peanut butter is like inherently a salty thing sure yeah I love it so so far I got tree foils they’re good I think it’s better than the adventure significantly I agree I think tree foils are a good cookie okay let’s jump into dosie does oh can you read what a Dosey does oatmeal sandwich cookie with peanut butter filling they’re a heavy peanut butter cookie based organization probably because it’s cheaper to make than anything else and you know what people love it thank you people love hearing do you know the i in Girl Scout stands for sharing this innovator damage Never Gonna Be a Girl Scout okay okay I’m gonna try it infinitely better than the than these two really wait hold on I’m rolling over I like the oats I like the oats hardier cookie let’s make it a hearty this is a breakfast cookie it’s a sandwich cookie one I love sandwich cookies this is a this is literally it tastes like a Nature Valley Product it’s delicious there’s honey in there no it is good it’s a delight this is a well executed cookie honey peanut butter oats salt it’s a beautiful cookie a breakfast cookie breakfast cooking you must dip it into your coffee you cannot dip this in tea no I dip it Australian milk let’s go in there as a as a grown man who just houses glasses of whole milk I love whole milk yeah I’m the guy from that Meme and I know I look like it with being a white guy with round glasses and all I’d look like I’d just slam whole milk um but I do okay it’s going right in that whole milk I really like that cookie those are good I never buy these never because why would you whenever you have tagalogs but maybe maybe the flavor is is doing it for us it’s got extra um I would never buy his cookies because Nutter butter to me has always been the best peanut butter sandwich cookie I love Nutter butt I love Nutter Butters but these are pretty damn good with the oh the honey and the oat that brings you that extra little savoriness that kind of like grainy wholesomeness and this isn’t for health reasons right of course it’s not of course but it adds an extra flavor to mention that actually really really makes a product better that’s a hell of a I like that cookie can you put it back in its spot dang thank you we’re off to a Rip Roar and start Girl Scouts good spot sorry I’m not good at putting things back which one do you want to try now uh let’s jump to toffee tastic toffee-tastic the gluten-free cookie of the bunch here at the Girl Scouts we are inclusive of all dietary guidelines regardless of of your time if you get the hot poops after you eat gluten well you can still have Girl Scout cookies also the Girl Scouts have been much more inclusive of like uh gender sexual identities in the Boy Scouts that’s really sweet shout out that’s wonderful yeah so when Robert baden-powell is putting down what what Nicole this is a podcast about the history of war crimes it’s friend God this morning okay oh these are toffitastic they are rich buttery cookies with sweet crunchy toffee bits although he shared sympathies with Hitler he also ended up on Hitler’s kill list like a direct kill list from Hitler because Hitler thought that he was spying on him with his Boy Scouts is weird stuff dude Hitler how to kill this what he had like a person yeah I mean it was like 90 of the people in the world but like the guy like did like Steve Buscemi in the wedding yes The Wedding Singer yeah no it’s big daddy is it no it’s not big daddy The Wedding Singer yeah Steve Buscemi he puts lipstick on [Music] the cookie either okay gluten-free cookies to me oh it’s Billy it’s Billy Madison oh there’s Billy Madison he comes and he shoots the guy the trivia tournament how do you feel about this I think I don’t think this is very good gluten-free people I’m very sorry that you are often given the short end of the stick the interesting thing is though I didn’t think you needed gluten to make good cookies why not I don’t know because to me I associate gluten right as the Protein that’s found within a lot of pizza dough pizza dough the thing that gives it a stretch it’s strength it allows it to rise sure cookies Yandy no rise you don’t need that chew you don’t need that strength like I would think that you can make a good gluten-free cookie oats don’t have gluten right you can make good oat flour good you could why isn’t that good why isn’t this good though I think it might be the way that the gluten-free flour is reacting to the fat that might just be stunting again giving them that really short this tastes more like shortbread than the truffle oil tastes like shortbread the toffee bits I don’t think are very good either they stick to your teeth in a way they need to either be that like Heath bar crunch which is which is what I would prefer which is what I prefer or it needs to be just fully melted in there and ingrained is the flavor this meat just hits a mark it eats kind of dry let me can I eat part of your tree foil of course you can okay no question cheap oils presumably better to me I think we have to put the toffee tastic at the bottom of the list currently we do you know and there’s no shame listen All Girl Scout cookies you’re good girl scout cookies except for those but it is the worst one yeah yeah definitely definitely okay that’s the bottom then we’re going Adventure Falls okay and then we end up at trefoils fair then rhodesi does your top does your top right now okay but we still haven’t hit the big hitters what we got the three we got oh no there’s another there’s another uh obscure one that I find very delightful these are girl scout s’mores I’ve never tried these another sandwich cookie graham cracker sandwich cookie chocolate marshmallow spread on the inside oh my gosh you know this it’s like a limited edition Oreo I love these guys sorry I’m so sorry I freaked out for a second Nicole there you are thanks I really love that we’re on video now so you can see that I feel like you need to put these in the microwave oh now just breathe on it hmm [Music] [Laughter] hell of a cookie Nicole that’s what the heck I’m talking about it’s like if you took 16 s’mores Pop-Tarts and put them in a trash compactor yeah like a collapsing neutron star Nicole all that flavor I really don’t like these is it because of the intense chemical taste it’s pure gamma glass I love it that’s how you know okay it’s fake chocolate and it’s fake marshmallow and it’s fake graham crackers if I can eat it it’s real um what the hell is that fake marshmallow chemical flavor because what’s a marshmallow uh sometimes you make it it’s like egg and gelatin it’s not even egg it’s like corn syrup gelatin and sugar that’s heated to a certain temp but significantly before caramelization you just whip it all up this isn’t even marshmallow filling this is just inside of an Oreo without the flavor is there no marshmallow flavor in it it doesn’t taste like marshmallow to me it tastes like chemical ass you know what I’m saying there’s like an artificial marshmallow extract but what the hell is that because the marshmallow is just sugar there’s sugar with gelatin added for structure the chocolate is also nasty the chocolate’s the nasty part the chocolate’s a nasty part that feeds into the weird Oreo part yeah a lot of extracts and then the cookie is just it’s just fine the cookies just fine this is the worst one everything Nicole’s saying I agree with but I come to the complete opposite conclusion where I love it the cookies salty as hell don’t know why there’s so much salt in it but I love it it’s salty it’s like it’s like a garlic parmesan graham cracker I don’t quite understand that it’s salty and savory I love it and then they have that fake chocolate extract that you get from like the flavor of a Tootsie Roll they sent me to Tootsie Roll which I hope you haven’t eaten until last like eight years if you’re an adult why would you have um it’s an American classic it’s like a weird candy just eat outside of Halloween where are you getting a Tootsie Roll some people put it outside of the desks and they like uh welcome to the office you pointed here as if we’ve done that think about the actual candies we have on the desk out here we have like lint truffles yeah we have really fancy chocolates Reese’s peanut butter Girard Deli squares ain’t nobody hey nobody even Tootsie Rolls anymore Josh I hated this cookie a lot I love it the way it’s shaped I hate the way that the fillings are put in there I waited shape this is such a good efficient shape for a sandwich okay nothing about this sandwich cookie that brings what does it say on the outside what is it read it Girl Scout s’mores some more is a portmanteau of some and more you know why Nicole they’re so good you want some more of them I love these hey Josh describe the shape for everybody at home describe the shape they it is an oblate spheroid okay spheroid everybody no what are they called they call this a circled rectangle is what it’s called so it’s a rectangular shape but the angles are circled you got a little crumb on your lip I got a lot this is so fun I think it’s a perfect two biter boom right in half Oreo can’t do that I hate this cookie it’s the bottom of the barrel for me no way it’s worse it’s worse than toffee tastic thank you okay [Laughter] our goal is that certain people like me yes are built different like trash people no correct correct correct I think I think it really depends on how much you grew up eating either like real fruits and vegetables or completely fabricated in a large food factory approximations of fruits and vegetables I did both you did both yeah but but like now you seem like I am not sensitive to artificial extracts at all I can taste them and I can place them yeah but I love them okay so but I know a lot of people like Julia didn’t grow up eating like any artificial foods like that her parents like cared about her and like cooked from scratch and stuff like that um you know the point is Sheila will like taste artificial Cherry actually I’d be like oh that just tastes like medicine because the only time she had that was in medicine yeah but for me I’m like yeah but medicine just tastes good because that tastes like Jolly Ranchers you know she’s like what’s a Jolly Rancher I’m like how do we understand she never had a Jolly Ranchers and you’re mad at me for eating Tootsie Rolls I don’t host a podcast with Julia you know we love each other for our faults not in spite of them um so if you are somebody who can if you were somebody who can like really house artificial extracts and I know you know who you are out there like if you’re someone who drinks a bunch of diet sodas I hate diet sodas exactly because you don’t have that you’re not built different you mean to tell me you would scrape out the middles pack a lip and just hang out with that cookie ew Josh right now no how’s it how do you like me now how’s it what no I’m not that’s just gonna give me a cavity okay I I agreed to disagree on this morning good afternoon we can have we might be different we come together sometimes but we are quite apart in a lot of situations we have different fashion senses like I know how to dress and you kind of just phone it in um I’m kidding I’m wearing a you’re so shady okay let’s try lemon making sure that says dump truck daddy oh yeah real fashion sorry Anna Wintour all right lemon UPS let’s be lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages to lift your spirits I love lemon keep your politics out of my lemon cookies I don’t want inspiring messages on Josh you don’t like positive affirmations positive affirmation my my version this is dead serious I have a positive affirmation is me staring myself in the mirror and calling myself a piece of crap that’s what I do every day to wake up so I’m not an affirmation Guy this is mine is it healthy no I’m not abdicating for it I’m merely saying what I do okay you have to pick it out and you have to put it face down and then when on three you have to say okay all right one two three say yours I am in an avatar I am a ghost you feel better now Google do you feel the Girl Scouts you to Take On The World stand for RL probably let’s let’s read all of our cookies I’m an innovator yeah I am a risk taker I am a leader I am a go-getter whatever what are you missing no no no yes this is the best cookie I love it okay so they used to have a cookie called a lemonade I think it’s the same thing no no Lemonade’s had a frosting on them I believe a yellow frosting down here yeah maybe they are the same um you’re so good you like them I love artificial lemon extracts why it’s so good to me I have some consistency no you fair there’s a lot of artificial lemon extract it’s so good you don’t get any acid if this was like if this is a fresh baked cookie with like fresh lemon X the fresh lemon zest in here yeah that’d be a really lovely cookie I love lemon cookies I love it especially this light little frosting on it you just go like like in uh squid game you know you have to you have a look at um there’s y’all going on Candy remember squid game yeah so good did you ever watch Alice in Borderland no but I watched physical 100 the real life squid game oh yeah yeah I heard that’s a really really good I don’t buy the controversy about the ending too I don’t care if they had to refilm it three times I think the winner is the winner because it suited my narrative that I went into the show believing no spoilies but the guy who I wanted to win won oh okay that’s good because he does the same thing that I do and I’m like that’s the best athletes what’s that I’m not gonna say it’s not it’s not yo I have too many cookie crumbs on my laptop we are breaking the account hey Maggie can I take a selfie with my cookie please it’s really important this has nothing to do with it well you’re taking a podcast break to take a selfie what kind of media meta-analysis I hate this I hate this oh sorry now let me let me go write a tweet see if you let me write a short story while we’re recording the podcast if you were a ghost I mean I’ve been live streaming this whole thing on Twitch actually no I’m not on Twitch anymore I’m on Kik oh I don’t know what that means I Trevor had to explain to me okay where do you have where do you have these cookies smack dab in the middle okay so you have them better than tree foils I like why trefoils are really nice and you need to think about the tenderness of the crumb right now okay and how beautiful and luxurious it melts the trefoils is like chewing on uh sugary air a sugary cloud in an unpleasant way the way that it snaps and the way that it melts doesn’t do it the way that a that a lemon up does a Lemon up has a beautiful buttery crumb which the trif oil is missing I will say you’re right you’re right seasoning the salting and the vanilla that is going into the trifoil is delightful but as a whole package these lemon cookies are the Victor I would agree with that they have a more substantial bite to them which I wanted yeah the light crispy thing you’re in Cracker territory there friend get an animal yeah exactly um I I like lemon you need to you need to be able to handle your artificial extracts again which apparently Nicole can here a lot of artificial lemon but if you’re into that I’ll go cookie but it’s good artificial lemon it’s not bad artificial lemon but still we got dosie does heavily in the front these these are a hell of a cookie yeah but now we get to the hitters okay we’re in our big three they say you need a big three to win an NBA championship and that’s what the Girl Scouts have in Finn mints Tagalongs and samoas sometimes called uh smokes or caramel delights that’s right Tagalongs are peanut butter patties peanut butter patties in other areas you’re correct um good memory thin mint sauce and mints and that’s because Girl Scouts have two main bakeries they are partnered with that they’re contracted with and that’s why some cookies have slightly different ingredients and will actually taste different in different regions it’s East Coast and West Coast right I think so yeah um but also I don’t understand why that would affect the naming of them that never made sense to me but that’s like their answer yeah I always thought there was like a slightly political answer to it smell there’s nothing like this smell there is it’s called a York Peppermint Patty shut up and close your eyes and eat the cookies God dang it it’s so good the texture on that thin mint aside from the mint chocolate which one I like mint chocolate the thin layer of that like very plasticine chocolate that’s been cut with a lot of other ingredients right because it don’t quite melt in your hand you know it has a nice Sheen to it but it’s so thin it just coats this like Ultra crispy wafery but still substantial all that soy lecithin just getting in the middle those crispy flour and sugar granules just giving these little micro air bubbles in there it’s beautiful hell of a cookie it’s a master class in cookie making I love a cookie phenomenal it it beats out Dosey doses do you think it beats out Dosey does a million Josh we can have different lists you think the Dosey dough is better let me eat a Dosey dough I’ve just been really impressed I’ve been really the Dosey does for my Dark Horse today I I wanted something to really surprise me today and it was a Dosey dose and eating a Dosey dough for the first time in years really surprising ly I am hoarding the cookies but wow still very impressed by the Dosey dough of course I think they’re number two right now number two Thin Mints Dosey dose and then it’s what do we say Thin Mints dosie does lemon UPS trifoil foils uh do you have the adventure Falls above s’mores but yeah that’s fair that’s fair ventricles s’mores and then the toffee tastic it’s everything for people um bust out the tag alongs bust out the tag alongs because to me there’s like I have a personal top two Samoas and Tagalongs just because mint is like you know sometimes you don’t you think it’s one lemon flavor yeah I think it’s polarizing I know people love it oh I’m so excited chocolate this is I have okay I have a theorem that I’ll get to with the samoas that could shape that could change everything okay but let us enjoy these our last ride can I tell you what it is it’s the way your two front teeth sink into the peanut butter but your bottom key are eating the cookie so you have two different Sensations in your mouth at one time I’m gonna give it a rave getting like a massage with a light show in front of me right now I went to a polo and pan concert yesterday and yeah there were people doing that it’s fun you know um the texture on that peanut butter um gives that cushion right before the cookie your teeth stink into the soft and you’re like oh is this a soft experience that like crispy and hard dude my my laptop is destroyed it’s okay don’t worry about it um yeah that’s I mean better better than thin mint right better that’s our top I I still Dosey dose are still my dark horse that I like want to believe are as good as these other ones but they’re simply not it’s a great change up Cookie but so far like these cookies to quote coach Denny green they are who we thought they were never mind um sports quotes are hard in here uh now we gotta go oh where the smell is at the purple box in front of you samosas these to me are the ones these are the Messiah the Messianic cookie right this is the thing that changed the game these things like you will get Samoa flavored Donuts at donut shops you’ll see them in ice cream at the Baskin-Robbins this is a crispy cookie ring cookie with a layer of caramel coconut and dark chocolate stripes the thing that is a spawned a thousand uh recipe imitators on allrecipes.com the cookie that’s sailed a thousand ships freaking dense little rings you’re going to flavor town girl [Laughter] you know they taste like kosher for Passover macaroons but I’m like a sexy way not that A girl’s got through sexy but this cookie you can be kosher for Passover and sexy that’s the thing we know from this podcast it’s the it’s the heavy toast on the coconut wow provides a deep layer of flavor that blends with the camel Nicole because both those flavors are just burning sugar which is great the chocolate counters it and you got a crisp cookie wafer my one thing about these cookies that could go along with Tagalongs as well go ahead if this were in a straight line if this was not a ring if this was a bar a straight line okay this would be called a Twix this would be called a candy bar okay right this is not a cookie this is a candy bar but okay we’re not arguing the cookie hood of Girl Scout cookies we’re arguing what is the best product they make that is correct I mean honestly like can you even legally call this a cookie most of this is not cookie material that’s okay you know they’re doing their part I think it’s the best tasting thing I’ve ever put in my mouth I think the tag alongs are better I stress they had a whole box of these during the Super Bowl when the Eagles started losing as a real fact there were Girl Scout cookies at the Elks Lodge that I was watching the Super Bowl at Julia was a little sloshed and she bought a bunch of Girl Scout cookies she doesn’t remember it Gold Birds Go Birds I will say the tagalong is a better mouth feel than the Samoa bring back the tagalogs I am open to the fact that Tagalongs could be a better cookie than a Samoa Josh like this is literally we’re doing like God’s work we’re like scientists right now and we have to be completely honest to the people that are to the people that are listening you are here for the truth capital T truth and we are giving it to you and I know what you’re gonna say and I want I want us to be on the same page we’re not paid by big Pharma out here selling your prescription drugs no no doing this for Love of the Game that’s right and also if Girl Scouts wants to give us Kickback we’re here listen we’re all running a business okay how do we decide which ones are better I will say what what are the pros pros of age mouth feel texture balance I’d say balance chocolaty peanut buttery pure badass flavor Rush this is like the highest flavor coefficient of any cookie that we have here you’re talking about the smell the samoas are the highest flavor coefficient the tag along is the most balanced mouth feel but what do you want from a Girl Scout cookie experience when I eat Girl Scout cookies what I think about is uh how I can eat a whole sleeve same same you don’t eat one and you walk away nobody’s doing that because you’re not eating candy you’re not eating candy it’s not a single wrapper thing you’re housing it uh-huh you eat a whole sleeve or the whole box in one sitting you can’t just eat one whoever says that is lying I will say the one that I can eat more of for me tag alongs the one that gives me the sensation of of delicious cookie that I want to go back for more and more tag alongs I could eat one Samoa and walk away two Samoas and walk away I could eat a sleeve of these I want more and that’s a sign of a better cookie in my opinion I would like to thank everyone for being here because we had a good time uh this is fantastic I wish we would just just binge eat more cookies on the show um I have my official answer and I agree with you Tagalongs are the winner simply because it say you get 70 this is hypothetical 70 the enjoyment of a Tagalog you can eat 300 to 600 more in one sitting I agree with the smells to me they eat like a candy they’re utterly delicious but not to say it couldn’t house the whole thing but I’m they’re gonna have diminishing returns after the sixth Samoa Longs you never the limit does not exist Nicole and that’s the that’s the most Girl Scout cookies yup God dang okay so to revisit number one Girl Scout cookie we have tagalogs number two we got samoas number three we got Thin Mints Thin Mints number four we got dosidos Josie doses underrated dossinos really had a great show today number five we have lemonades incredible number six we have trefoils yeah eat them eat them try it in the classic it’s good it’s a good crispy plain cookie and then we’re starting to get to the bottom of the barrel uh Adventure Falls it was a great track Girl Scouts didn’t really hit it um the s’mores ones I particularly enjoy Nicole absolutely hates and that’s fine we can have differences and then the gluten-free people sorry about it maybe it’s like you eat a piece of fruit or something yeah you know do you love Girl Scout cookies as much as we do I do head over to sport.com for their Girl Scout cookie article I will especially the one comparing Girl Scout cookies to their Walmart knockoffs to satisfy your off-season craving that’s great news thank you for the information Nicole anytime Josh my pleasure [Music] all right Nicole we’ve heard that you and I have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the universe it’s time for a segment we call opinions are like casserole [Music] I don’t feel good sorry a lot of cookies a lot of ooh and they’re still sitting there sugary if I don’t eat a cookie before the end of this that will be a huge win for myself like you think you’re gonna reach and get one right now no self-control Josh you need to bite me okay the way my cat does all right let’s listen to some opinions I will Josh and Nicole Rob from Michigan what’s up Rob my side hustle is I do 3D printing shout out to Opex prints okay but good for you I’m just wondering what your guys’s opinion on the future of 3D printed food would be yeah I wanted to keep this one short and simple so have a great day I don’t reckon there is a future Nicole and I’ll tell you why um okay so so much of our food system is already basically backed log in the infrastructure that we already have and a lot of it doesn’t necessarily have to do with even meeting Demand anymore right so for instance our dairy farms have grown so big and so efficient they can produce so much Dairy they’re locked into subsidy systems um despite the demand not actually being there okay um but it’s so freaking cheap to produce that they just produce so much of it because it creates jobs and they just dump it into a field so you got all these people out there who are like we can 3D print Stakes using the hemoglobins found in animal proteins and it looks exactly like them we don’t have to kill animals but the fact is there are hundreds of thousands of people whose jobs whose livelihoods are out there right that is killing animals because you can make steak that feeds people for very very cheap because cow Farms have existed for hundreds upon hundreds of years in America so I think a lot of these 3D and of course any new Innovations go going to take time to implement but I think it is so freaking expensive and can only happen on such a small scale and the demand isn’t there and it is beating against an industry that has I’m only talking about the weird 3D printed meat that we’re seeing out here there’s probably other applications for 3D printed food there are I know they use it in in space in space stations and stuff like that um the stuff that I’ve seen right now pretty rudimentary um we 3D printed a pizza and it tastes like almost like a Lunchables pizza and it’s like gross I want a guy named Giuseppe making me a good one yeah um but for me I don’t know I 3D printing very cool technology but like a lot of new technologies in the food space it just doesn’t actually beat the current technology that you have right yeah um we actually used a 3D printed sugar cube for a GMM episode one time and it’s cool you know the novel I understand the novelty of it and having it exist in like a small store or you know maybe a cpg product here and there but I don’t see anything 3D print did taking the place of I don’t know a tomato or a steak like you said or a bottle of milk or whatever it is they can try but I don’t see it I don’t see our society accepting it yeah and there’s also a lot of people who are like but it can curb climate change and all that there’s a lot of companies that market themselves almost as tech companies like I’m thinking of Beyond and impossible companies are like oh my God it’s a veggie burger that bleeds in a completely new technology it’s like our soy protein Burgers have been around for you know 40 50 years it’s cool and it tastes good but it’s an improvement in a food product it’s not a technological Revolution sure people want it to be they wanted to be dying for it and they invest in it as if it is but like if people are imagining like a Wally future of food human race ain’t gonna exist long enough to get there we need to worry worry about making the food systems that we currently have better better yeah Rob I’m sure your 3D printing stuff’s awesome man yeah can you 3D print us like a surfboard with our faces on it I don’t know how to surf but I’m sure I could learn if I had one hi this is Shiloh from Florida I love your guys’s podcast and here’s a little bit of an unpopular if you take for me and my family I like Southern sweet tea and milk like not like like everybody real sweet killer bear Southern sweet tea heck yeah and milk love you guys love the podcast think about this a lot milk and sweet tea peep milk and iced tea okay that nobody who no who does that nobody well people put milk in tea all the time I know that’s what the Commonwealth few people do that all the time they do my oh I grew up drinking and drinking uh super milky tea with my grandma Yeah uh super milky water A.D it’s pretty gross um super sweet too but almost nobody puts milk in iced tea especially sweetened iced tea huh like an iced latte I’m sure you can order it at places but it sounds delicious it’s freaking great uh Thai tea tight like the thing about Thai tea that is a creamy milky sweet iced tea that is delightful but even you just take a black tea you take a something sweet tea milk it up dude it’s a treat yeah I’m not the biggest sweet tea fan I do like my Tea unsweetened but that’s just me there’s like two different products it’s like drinking water with a squeeze of lemon in it versus like a country time lemonade yeah well you’re drinking two different things yeah sure I I just personally like my Tea unsweetened that’s just that’s personal preference but I do love the idea of a milk and sweet tea yeah I wouldn’t have it it’s an American Thai tea at that point and it’s it’s a delight man I’ve had that uh keep on trucking trailer you were on the right side here I like your name by the way Shiloh is a beautiful name what have you seen Grandma’s Boy yeah Nick Swardson Shiloh more like and then he says something inappropriate oh we’ll talk after we’ll talk after sorry I started laughing because I thought about it Nick Swardson bit from 2008 which I’m gonna say on my deathbed to my grandson and he’s gonna who the hell is that it’s like when you’re talking to Grandpa he’s like you never watched Peter O’Toole and I’m like I have no idea the hell that is grandpa again I’ve never met my grandpa so I don’t know what I’m saying that I met Nick Swardson once do you want to know where I’m sure do tell your Nick Swardson story former spokesman for barks root beer you said it so uh I’m so embarrassed do you know the IHOP on Sunset yeah not on Sunset like in West Hollywood I think it is on Sunset but yeah I was kissing a boy outside of it and then he stopped kissing me and he’s like hey that’s Nick Swardson I’m like I’m like hey you’re an expert he’s like yeah and he’s like what are you guys like a couple and we’re like yeah and that’s my name that’s the most romantic story outside in IHOP featuring Nick Swardson that I have ever heard Nicole oh my God okay you’re so Hollywood for the love of God I really need a filter oh my gosh I can’t take that voicemail seriously my name is Rachel I’m from uh the San Francisco Bay area in my opinion is that chicken skin is garbage what the hot trash always it’s just chewy fatty nastiness anyway I love you guys thank you bye Rachel we love the Bay Area yeah we love you but this opinion is a bad opinion Mac Dre would be pissed yeah I don’t know if he likes chicken skin but he might um you know who likes chicken skin who’s that Jesus Christ so Shake I ain’t got none but I’m planning on growing some imagine all the Hebrews going down um tight ones um I love chicken skin when I was a kid I used to steal the chicken skin off of a whole bird and just eat it that is monstrous um as juicians it is our it is part of our culture so we eat a fun thing called gribbones I do not eat Griffin is you don’t eat Griffin is hell no I don’t know I grew up like I wasn’t like snacking on every day but yeah it’s one of my favorite things if you’re making Schmaltz what you do is you put the chicken skin into a pot and you render it down um and then you you strain it you kind of clarify it and you get lovely chicken fat that is used for cooking but the rendered chicken skin which you’re talking about chicken skin being fatty and chewy if you’re cooking it good it should be neither the subcutaneous fat should be rendered and the chewy should turn to crispy now I also happen to love chewy chicken skin I love all chicken skins you get high on chicken and rice right you get that just the fat should be ready velvety lovely velvety fat um you do like a braised chicken feet or something like that or even braised Wings in like a Filipino soup like in uh not getting a tongue what’s the other one might have been minute I know what you’re talking about oh the eggs in it too that’s what it’s called Uh yeah it’s like eggs and chicken wings um and the skin is just melty and jiggly I play around with different styles of chicken skin because it sounds like you’re eating bad ones I agree that a roast chicken that has not been properly can dry yeah right um I think the skin can get chewy and it’s annoying but open your heart up I feel bad that we gave her a yeah yeah with that terrible opinion don’t feel bad um also side note my mom told me to not eat chicken skin because it had a lot of hormones in it and I would grow a mustache and you but little did she know that I was a Persian girl and I would grow a massage anyways so what you could have been happy with them I could have been happy but yeah chicken Skin’s good and I had a lot of chicken skin and didn’t grow a mustache so there you go ah we should get her on the Pod best quarters David korreshed leader of the Branch Davidians cults but they had a weird part in the assassination of Shinzo Abe all right interrupted it Nicole we’re not having this fight right now not in front of Maggie Maggie I’m sorry hi Josh and Nicole I am Samantha from North Georgia recently um at my boyfriend’s family reunion congratulations and his grandfather made these cucumbers soaked in the lime and then we would cover them in talking and I just thought it was really good and it was something I’ve never tried before I’ve done that with Pickles which technically um cucumbers but yeah um I thought that was really cool and something that I’ve never tried before I thought I’d like to hear your opinion on it so thank you bye well I’ve grown up with with uh fruit carts and like fruitarians and stuff like my whole life so this isn’t uncommon for me I don’t only get cucumbers I do the whole medley of fruits vegetables whatever they have typically what I get is mango oranges cucumbers coconut and then cantaloupe and then they put lemon salt and tahin lime salt and tahin and it’s delicious I’ve never done it with Pickles before it’s kind of foreign to me to do it with Pickles but the Cucumber makes total sense and I’m really glad you tried it after all these years of not trying it just give me all the give me all the fruits with all the sauces on it um I love that you tried this for the first time and are super excited about it and continue doing it and I think there are a lot of people especially in this weird online uh Mob situation that we have where if you say I just tried this thing for the first time and I like it people go you never heard of that it’s actually really comment and that gets really really annoying people do not know things until they learn them you’re right Josh right Growing Up in Southern California we had you know the awesome ability to go to Mexican fruit carts that’s right to be surrounded by a lot of Mexican people who are just eating stuff like that all the time it’s like I remember you know eating like pulpariendo candy yeah from the 99 cent store my dad worked in a 99 ancestry we were living in Oceanside California um but like to experience of food for the first time and to be mind blown by it freaking awesome yeah incredible you can tell people about that now I’m really happy for you so that you can do that now yeah it’s cucumber lime tahin do it with like some jicama too man oh big guy yeah I have a giant bottle of tea on me at all times in my cabinet yeah me too big fan I don’t have chamoy though no I typically two points good but it’s like as a treat my sister has chamoy in her fridge really and she loves it does she does she like Ram uh Micheladas with it she drink really at all my sister does not drink but chamoy yeah I make a good virgin michelada tell you what you can invite her it’s just
